Show all

The annual programme of the Kunsthaus Graz sees itself as a living organism that promotes sustainability and continuity – ranging from themes, content and working methods to long-term development. The programme continues to evolve over the years as an exhibition and production venue, laboratory, educational institution, growing archive and site-specific collection.

 

In 2024, the Kunsthaus team adopted a new mission statement. This affirms the museum’s established status internationally, while at the same time maintaining intensive dialogue with and integration into the local and regional art scene.

 

Designing sustainably, opening up, sharing

Based on three categories from the new mission statement – ‘Designing sustainably, opening up and sharing’ – the 2025 annual programme focuses on how power is handled – from oppression and empowerment to radical hope. As an introduction to this theme, the current exhibition Poetics of Power addresses the ambivalence of power.
